Internship Abroad

Experience has shown that the following questions will be at the top of your list if you are considering, or even better, have already decided to gain practical experience abroad:

What opportunities do I have? When is a good time? How can I find an internship? Who are my contacts? What funding opportunities are there? Where can I get experience reports or contacts to other students?

You can find answers to these questions below and at the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

Unfortunately, it is not possible to offer personal advice on internships abroad at this time.

Your options

Practical activity

Bachelor's degree programmes generally require proof of practical work experience. You can carry out the practical activity abroad. The timing and duration of the practical training are determined by the Examination Regulations and the funding programmes.

Practical semester

Many degree programmes at FH Aachen are offered with an integrated practical semester. Here too, you can spend the practical semester abroad. Recognition is similar to the recognition of a domestic internship. You can find detailed information on the pages of your faculties.

Voluntary practical training

With voluntary practical training, you are relatively flexible in terms of the timing and duration of your stay abroad. Although the start and end of the practical training are also determined by external factors such as the employer, holiday periods or funding programmes, you are not necessarily bound to a specific subject when choosing your internship.

Recognition

In many degree programmes, compulsory practical semesters, mobility windows or practical projects are part of the degree programme. Please coordinate the possible recognition of your internship abroad with your responsible Chairman of the Examination Board or international representative before you start your internship abroad.

Contact for internship counselling

Unfortunately, personal counselling on internships abroad is currently not possible.
